FIG. 1 schematically shows electrical connection of the unit coils of theU-phase coil 5 u. As shown, the unit coils are connected to one another via connecting wires. Regarding theU-phase coil 5 u, the unit coils B4, B3, B2 and B1 are wound in one direction in this order with the neutral terminal N2 serving as a winding start end. Furthermore, the unit coils A1, A2, A3 and A4 are wound in the same direction as the unit coils B1 to B4 with the neutral terminal N1 serving as a winding terminal end. All the unit coils are wound in the same direction or clockwise as viewed from inside thestator core 4. A connecting wire connecting between the unit coils A1 and B1 serving as one end of theU-phase coil 5 u is cut, and cut ends of the connecting wire serve as start ends of the first and second coil groups A and B. The start ends of the first and second coil groups A and B are connected to power supply input terminals Pu1 and Pu2 to which U-phase power is supplied, respectively. The power supply input terminals Pu1 and Pu2 are connected to the power supply input terminal Pu (FIG. 4 ). On the other hand, the winding terminal end of the unit coil A4 and the winding start end of the unit coil B4 both serving as the other end of theU-phase coil 5 u are connected to the neutral terminals N1 and N2 respectively. - In the first coil group A (5 u 1), electric power is supplied via the winding start end to the first coil group A (5 u 1) and electric power is supplied via the winding terminal end to the second coil group B (5 u 2). Accordingly, the unit coils A1 to A4 (U1 to U4) of the first coil group A have the same polarity and the unit coils B1 to B4 (U1′ to U4′) of the second coil group B have the same polarity that is opposite to that of the unit coils A1 to A4 (U1 to U4). The
U-phase coil 5 u thus has eight magnetic poles as the result of the above-described configuration. - In the unit coils A1 to A4 (U1 to U4) of the first coil group A (5 u 1), a connecting wire connecting between the unit coils A1 and A2 of the first coil group A (5 u 1) is arranged at the side of one of two axial end surfaces of the
stator core 4, which one end surface is located opposite the power supply input terminal Pu1, as shown inFIG. 1 . A connecting wire connecting between the unit coils A2 and A3 of the first coil group A (5 u 1) is arranged so as to extend from the unit coil A2 via the axial end surface of thestator core 4 opposite the power supply input terminal Pu1 and further via a left end of theslot 6 accommodating the unit coil A1 along the other axial end surface of thestator core 4 at the power supply input terminal Pu1 side. A connecting wire connecting between the unit coils A3 and A4 of the first coil group A (5 u 1) is arranged so as to extend from the unit coil A3 via a circumferential edge of thestator core 4 located opposite the power supply input terminal Pu1 to the side of the axial end surface at the power supply input terminal Pu1 side. - Furthermore, in the unit coils B1 to B4 (U1′ to U4′) of the second coil group B (5 u 2) constituting the
U-phase coil 5 u, a connecting wire connecting between the unit coils B1 and B2 is arranged at the side of one of two axial end surfaces of the stator core, which one axial end surface is located opposite the power supply input terminal Pu2. A connecting wire connecting between the unit coils B2 and B3 is arranged so as to extend from the unit coil B2 via the axial end surface of thestator core 4 opposite the power supply input terminal Pu2 and further via a right end of theslot 6 of thestator core 4 accommodating the unit coil B1 to the other axial end surface of thestator core 4 at the power supply input terminal Pu2 side. A connecting wire connecting between the unit coils B3 and B4 is arranged so as to extend from the unit coil B3 via the circumferential edge of thestator core 4 located opposite the power supply input terminal Pu2 to the side of the axial end surface at the power supply input terminal Pu2 side. - The V-phase coil 5 v is displaced by an amount corresponding to four slots relative to the
U-phase coil 5 u, and the unit coils of the V-phase coil 5 v are accommodated in theslots 6 of thestator core 4 while being connected to one another by connecting wires. The W-phase coil 5 w is also displaced by the amount corresponding to four slots relative to the V-phase coil 5 v, and the unit coils of the W-phase coil 5 w are accommodated in theslots 6 while being connected to one another by connecting wires, in the same manner as theU-phase coils 5 u. - In the
phase stator coils 5 u to 5 w, pieces of interphase insulation paper are provided for insulation between different phases such as coil ends of U- and V-phases or V- and W-phases. On the other hand, enamel films of conductive wires constituting the unit coils are provided for insulation between coil ends of the unit coils of thefirst coil group 5u 1 and the unit coils of thesecond coil group 5 u 2, coil ends of the unit coils 5v 1 and the coil ends of the second coil group 5 v 2 and coil ends of thefirst coil group 5w 1 and the unit coils of thesecond coil group 5 w 2. - According to the above-described first embodiment, the second unit coil B2 (U2′) of the second coil group B (5 u 2) is arranged in the neighborhood of the first unit coil A1 (U1) of the first coil group A (5 u 1), and the second unit coil A2 (U2) of the first coil group A is arranged in the neighborhood of the first unit coil B1 (U1′) of the second coil group B. As a result, the fourth unit coil B4 having a large potential difference from the first unit coil A1 is prevented from being adjacent to the first unit coil A1. Accordingly, the insulation performance of the stator 2 of the first embodiment can be improved, whereupon the stator 2 can cope with high power supply voltage.
- Since the insulation performance is improved in the first embodiment, no insulator needs to be provided between the unit coils of the first and second coil groups A and B for the purpose of reinforcement. Accordingly, sufficient insulation can be ensured by the stator 2.
- Furthermore, according to the permanent magnet motor employing the stator 2 of the embodiment, the insulation performance of the stator 2 is improved, whereby insulators need not be reinforced. Consequently, the permanent magnet motor can cope with high power supply voltage, whereby the permanent magnet motor can be reduced in size and can develop higher output.

phase coils 5 v and 5 w are configured in the same manner as the above-describedU-phase coil 5 u. - According to the seventh embodiment, the eighth unit coils A8 and B8 serving as final unit coils are adjacent to third unit coils A3 and B3 but not to the first unit coils A1 and B1, respectively. Consequently, the seventh embodiment can achieve the same advantageous effects as the first embodiment.

FIG. 14 illustrates an eighth embodiment. TheU-phase coil 5 u includes sixteen unit coils A1 to A8 and B1 to B8. The unit coils are arranged in the same manner as those of the seventh embodiment. In the connection of the unit coils, connecting wires connecting between the unit coils A1 and A2, A2 and A3, B1 and B2 and B2 and B3 are arranged in the same manner as in the second embodiment. Connecting wires connecting between the unit coils A3 and A4, A4 and A5, A5 and A6, A6 and A7 and A7 and A8 are arranged in the same manner as in the seventh embodiment. Connecting wires connecting between the unit coils B3 and A4, A4 and A5, A5 and A6, A6 and A7 and A7 and A8 are also arranged in the same manner as in the seventh embodiment. - The V-phase and W-
phase coils 5 v and 5 w are configured in the same manner as the above-describedU-phase coil 5 u. - The eighth embodiment can achieve the same advantageous effects as the seventh embodiment. In particular, the connecting wires connecting between the unit coils of the first and second coil groups A and B are all disposed at one of two axial end surfaces of the
stator core 4. Accordingly, the eighth embodiment can achieve the same advantageous effects as the second embodiment. - The foregoing embodiments should not be restrictive but can be modified without departing from the gist. For example, the stator 2 is configured into the three-phase eight-pole arrangement (n=8), the three-phase twelve-pole arrangement (n=12) and the three-phase sixteen-pole arrangement (n=16) in the foregoing embodiments. However, the stator 2 may be configured into a three-phase six-pole arrangement, instead. Thus, the stator 2 may be any one of stators each of which includes a stator coil with a plurality of phases and in which each phase stator coil includes an n-number of unit coils (n≧6 where n is an integer). The stator 2 thus configured may be applied to various types of rotating electrical machines.
- While certain embodiments have been described, these embodiments have been presented by way of example only, and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Indeed, the novel embodiments described herein may be embodied in a variety of other forms; furthermore, various omissions, substitutions and changes in the form of the embodiments described herein may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. The accompanying claims and their equivalents are intended to cover such forms or modifications as would fall within the scope and spirit of the invention.
